Project Management is an MIT-licensed, Laravel and Filament based project and ticket management application for teams that want to run projects, track tickets and support clients from a self-hosted PHP stack.

What it is

Project Management is an open source application built on Laravel and the Filament admin framework, published by devaslanphp under the MIT licence. It runs as a PHP web application and ships as a Dockerized deployment as of Release 1.2.2. The front end is assembled from Alpine.js, Chart.js and Laravel Vite, while the administrative surface relies on Filament components including filament-tables, filament-notifications and filament-excel. It lives in the PHP and Laravel ecosystem and is distributed through its GitHub repository, which currently carries 1090 stars, 336 forks and 23 open issues.

The concrete problem it solves is fragmented project, ticket and client support work. Instead of running one tool for kanban planning, a second for epics and roadmaps, a third for time logging and Excel reporting, and a fourth for client-facing helpdesk tickets, a team gets one Laravel application that covers all of it. It replaces the loose combination of separate issue trackers and spreadsheets that small teams typically assemble. The Jira import pathway added in Release 1.2.1 makes that replacement concrete: existing Jira projects and tickets can be brought across rather than re-entered by hand.

Key capabilities

• Kanban boards and a Scrum module, including issue creation through a dialog directly inside the kanban view (Releases 1.1.1 and 1.2.0).
• A Road Map feature and Epics managed per project, with Epic parent links that express dependencies (Releases 1.1.0 and 1.1.2).
• Ticket attachments, hours logging with a comment field on each log entry, and an Activity resource that feeds ticket time logging (Releases 1.1.5, 1.1.7 and 1.1.8).
• Excel export through the filament-excel and laravel-excel-export stack, with an Activity column included in the exported data (Release 1.1.8).
• Jira integration that imports Jira projects and tickets (Release 1.2.1).
• Single sign-on using OpenID Connect (OIDC) (Release 1.2.3).
• More than 60 languages available, generated automatically by Google Translate through a custom command rather than maintained by hand.

Who uses it and how

• Teams self-hosting on PHP 8+ with MySQL 8+ that need project planning, ticket tracking and client support in a single application.
• Organizations moving off Jira, using the 1.2.1 importer to carry existing projects and tickets into an MIT-licensed stack.
• Companies that already run an identity provider, using the OIDC single sign-on from Release 1.2.3 instead of managing separate local accounts.
• Distributed or multilingual teams, relying on the more than 60 bundled translations.
• Infrastructure teams that deploy containers, using the Dockerized build introduced in Release 1.2.2 rather than running the application from source.

Getting started

The README defers installation to the full online documentation at https://devaslanphp.github.io/project-management, and lists PHP 8+, MySQL 8+ and a Pusher account as prerequisites. Release 1.2.2 also packages the application for Docker, so deployment can be containerized instead of assembled from source.

How it compares

The facts provided contain no list of paid products that this project replaces, and they name no direct open source competitor either. Jira appears only as an import source in Release 1.2.1, not as an alternative being benchmarked against it. On the available evidence it stands alone in this registry as a Laravel and Filament based project management tool.

When to use it — and when not to

A self-hoster must operate PHP 8+, a MySQL 8+ database, a Pusher account for realtime features, and whatever host runs the Docker image or the Laravel application. Teams that want a vendor-managed SaaS product, or that cannot take on a Laravel deployment and its dependencies, should look elsewhere. The repository is also candid about its rough edges: the README is short and defers installation detail to the online docs, translations are machine-generated by Google Translate and may contain errors, and 23 open issues remain at the time of this listing.
